I was on a jury for a trial where they had crap on the kid accused of conspiracy to create meth. He drove an old high school friend, who he hadn't seen for years, to a park. He drove into a parking lot on the way and turned around "as if trying to avoid tails." He returned to the car and the undercover cop put the key back in his hand after putting ingredients in the car. AND...he was being accused of conspiracy (which raises the seriousness of the crime to a felony!) to create meth because...there were drug ingredients in the car and the keys were in his hand. He'd spent his time at the park napping on the grass with his hat over his head. Or, as the cops testified, "probably acting as a lookout." We of course said "not guilty." No one even wanted to argue. No idea why they thought they had a case. But the kid in this case was white. I could totally see a black kid deciding that accepting a "lesser plea" would have been preferable to taking a chance on a 95%+ white jury (was in a predominantly white area; I don't think there was a single black juror, though I wasn't keeping count).
